    Yeah…nah.

    Golf courses are open in Regional…and operating normally (or Covid normal) – no staying on premises, masks required, no comp. But groups of 4 are on.

    Can I ask why there is no comp??

    Golf courses were not listed in the govt published specs, unless it was added after I read them. GA website says golf is allowed, with masks and no comps.
    But courses are opening, so lets not rock the boat.
    Still no home vists except for sex buddy (partner) or single bubble buddy. Yet I can play golf with a few buddies, have a drink with them in the bar (max 10) or outside (max 20) or as a gathering in a public place (max 10). But not at anyone’s home. A max of 5 would do. Two of the guys live at the end of a court. We set up a few chairs on the road and have a public gathering.

    People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
    No championships worth mentioning in recent years.

    No! To do that we would have t understand the difference of 4 people playing golf and 4 people playing golf in competition and how it related to the risk of virus transmission differential. I guess it is similar to the risk of infection you are exposed to playing golf solo for the last 4 weeks. Out doors and with strong winds, there must be some sort of vortex effect that circulates your expired aerosol ladened with virus/ bacteria that escaped your mask and re entered through your now wet mask.

    You must need to be a health advisor to make sense of it. My infection control training and experience in aerosols and their management is not advanced enough for this issue.

    In other words, they are a pack of wankers that must have some ” rule” to make life just that little bit difficult, even though it makes no sense.

    Question….. If regional Victoria is mostly free of Covid and I presume would like to stay that way, but the Greater Metro area of Melbourne is shall we say the more infectious and major contributor to the spreading of the virus, why would your Premier say to those in Greater Melbourne, “Off you go to Regional Victoria and beyond because they need your $$$’s”? Mind you the only beyond is NSW cause all the other borders are closed to Vic from what I can gather. I would have thought there are far more businesses in the Greater Metro area that have or will fold by Xmas than in Regional Vic.

    Only say this because some ignorant pricks decided it was alright for them to head off to Regional NSW rather than get caught stuck in Greater Metro Sydney and look what resulted from those little escapades.

    No, the metro gnomes are still not allowed of their pen and are still on a 5km leash.
    Regional Vics are now allowed to go anywhere in Vic except metro M. They just can’t do anything when they get there. Shops, restaurants, cafes can all open with a max of 10 indoors and 20 outside. No home visits. Outdoor recreation max of 20 pers per venue. A golf course cannot operate like that even if you separated the course from the clubhouse.

    Dan and his team of advisors have again proved that they are a pack of dickheads.

    So he has opened regional Vic up to regional Vics?

    Yeah. We’ve been a closed shop for weeks except for supermarkets, medical and essential workers (permit needed).

    So, now we can go anywhere in regional Vic but if we stop somewhere where there’s more than a handful of others, we could be hit with a $5000+ fine.

    Of course you can ask but don’t expect a reasonable answer.

    On earlier reply, we *could* set up a few chairs. Perhaps we could claim it was non-alcoholic beer or wine and keep the relevant containers just over the fence. The coppers would need a search warrant to search over the fence.

    I suppose that’s somewhat better than shooting a few ugly drivers.

    regional is open, meaning people can travel around this lovely state and play some of the excellent golf courses on offer.

    The catering arrangements or lack of means country golf club houses are somewhat restricted. looks like we will be back to the sausage on bread at half way and at end with beers from an esky probably members will eat in car so dont spill beer on your mask.

    We leave Thursday for our next on road grey nomad journey, including a whale cruise. The aim this trip is to get some advantage of membership by playing all the Reciprocal rights course this year (including those courses in Northern Vic and around the Murray and Tura beach in NSW.
    If we can get to QLD to see son that is goal

    Those Vic regional restrictions have now been amended to say there are no limits on the number of players on golf courses provided they can keep their distancing and no groups larger than 10.

    Is think a group of 4 would be reasonable, 5 at most.

    A ‘welcome back’ from the club GM today said there was an exemption where groups maintained a 50 meter distance.
    I don’t have a spares 50 meters lying around the workshop but if I did, I could attach them to a belt around my middle. Then if everyone else did the same, we’d always have 50 meters between us.

    Or perhaps we’ll just use a bit of uncommon sense. Certainly none of that in the government.

    Dan has told police to put the ring of steel up again at Lang Lang roundabout, so Not sue OB could get down to Lang Lang even though he is country region.

    Nyora. Actually, I could just turn left at that roundabout and take a few back roads. But going via Nyora is simple.
